Gustavo Carvalho: Talent Made in Brazil
Gustavo Carvalho has been around since just over a year but is among the best discoveries of the moment.
The young Brazilian designer started with some editorials for online magazines, and quickly generated interest in different media. He was the finalist of Jessie J and vitaminwater‘s Creative Invite. He also worked with famous Brazilian stylist, Reinaldo Lourenço.
After some successful stints, he decided to undertake a more personal project .In 2014 he founded Gustavo Carvalho; its success was instantaneous and he participated in the New York Fashion Week. He also designed clothes for the Brazilian pop singer Lorena Simpson.
In his designs we see the influence of visual and plastic arts.
For Fall / Winter 2015 collection he drew inspiration from pop music of the 80s, the youth of this period and its relationship with music.
The queen of pop, Madonna, was his muse for this collection, her visuals, her dancing and some of her songs inspired him.
According to Gustavo, Madonna represents a strong, determined and free woman.
The last element used by the designer was the sport; dance and sport are very similar, he says.
The collection is urban and sports, and it has not a defined gender.
We will find many items in black, blue, red, ivory and gold.
Highlights the fabric selection, since we will find eco leather, neoprene and even fabrics from automotive industry.
For the style he was inspired by the riding, swimming, running and boxing.
The word that best defines this collection is without doubt modernity. ” Gustavo is still very young and only has started his career but his achievements in this short period are big and we can only expect greater things from this young talented fellow.
